Every 1 in 5 GST taxpayers in India now a woman: SBI Research
New Delhi: There are over 1.52 crore active Goods and Services Tax (GST) registrations and one-fifth of registered GST taxpayers in India now have at least one woman, and 14 per cent of registered taxpayers have all female members (on the basis of the constitution of business), an SBI report revealed on Tuesday. This representation is substantially high in limited liability partnership (LLP) and private limited companies and the vectors of increased formalization and momentum in corporate playbook augur well for equitable representation in the offing, according to the SBI's Economic Research Department report. 'This data, along-with 15 per cent share of women in overall income taxpayers and 40 per cent in overall deposits, mirrors women empowerment,' said Dr Soumya Kanti Ghosh, Group Chief Economic Advisor, SBI. In just five years (FY21-FY25), gross GST collection doubled and even average monthly gross GST collection is now Rs 2 lakh crore. Top five states account for 41 per cent of gross revenue and six states have crossed Rs 1 lakh crore mark, Dr Ghosh added. States having GST collection of more than Rs 1 lakh crore have Integrated Goods and Service Tax (IGST) share of more than 30 per cent in their total domestic collection, emphasising the contribution of larger states in pushing GST collection across other states. On July 1, the GST completed eight years since its rollout. Introduced in 2017 as a major step towards economic integration, GST replaced a maze of indirect taxes with a single, unified system. It made tax compliance easier, reduced costs for businesses, and allowed goods to move freely across states. By improving transparency and efficiency, GST helped lay the foundation for a stronger, more integrated economy. 'Our results indicate that convergence pattern strengthens over time, peaking in FY25 across all quantiles. By FY25, convergence is strong across the spectrum, indicating a broad-based equalising effect of GST,' said Dr Ghosh. Surprisingly, some of the larger and richer states like Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and even Karnataka have low share in active GST taxpayers vis-a-vis the state's share in overall GSDP (Gross State Domestic Product). 'Interestingly, states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Gujarat share in total GST taxpayers is larger than the state's share in overall GSDP. This indicate that there is still a vast untapped potential in GST in these states,' the report mentioned.

VS' stand against Dubai company proved crucial in SmartCity growth
KOCHI: Former Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan's stand— particularly his opposition to giving incentives to Dubai-based TECOM Investments — played a crucial role in the conceptual stages of the SmartCity Kochi project, then worth Rs 1,500 crore. Eventually, TECOM went on to hold 84% stake in the venture. As the leader of Opposition in 2005, VS built a strong campaign against the then Chief Minister Oommen Chandy's proposal to set up a multi-crore IT park on nearly 250 acres at Kakkanad, highlighting several clauses detrimental to the state's interests. A major point of contention was TECOM's demand for freehold rights over 12% of the land meant for the project. When the LDF government headed by VS came to power in 2006, it was determined to protect public assets and held hard bargains with TECOM. 'The hard line adopted by VS, first as leader of Opposition and then as chief minister, has played a crucial role in retaining the IT field in the public sector and paving the way for its substantial growth, thus proving it a successful model,' K Chandran Pillai, former MP and national secretary of CITU, told TNIE. 'Back then, VS had to bear much criticism for taking an anti-development stand.' In 2006, VS negotiated with the same company and changed the initial terms. 'VS said we will give land on lease but TECOM wanted it as a freeholding,' said Joseph C Mathew, who then served as the IT advisor to the CM. 'The reason was that TECOM, in the case of a lease, would only be able to sublease the land. They claimed it would turn away big names like Microsoft and Google. So, the state government said the land parcels earmarked will be given on freehold rights but will be converted into an SEZ later. That meant TECOM won't have alienable rights. In the last year of the VS government, all misunderstandings were cleared.' Pillai pointed out that VS put forward a new set of conditions acceptable to TECOM as well. 'We could foresee the huge potential of Kochi in the development of IT sector. We were confident of leveraging the IT sector even if the agreement reached by Oommen Chandy was discarded. Kochi has now turned into one of the best IT hubs after the implementation of Phase 1 and Phase 2,' he said. Citing the proposal to develop Kochi as a mega AI hub, with the state government ordering the acquisition of nearly 300 acres for Phase 3 development, Pillai said: 'All these have become possible because of VS' long-term vision and his hard stand against the wrong set of initial agreements 20 years ago.'
